Beneath the Wraps

                 On October 16 th the bank contacted me about fraud suspicion (thank you justask.com) and my card was cancelled and a new one ordered – and boy, did it take its sweet time coming.  I think I used it only once before today.  I was contacted by the bank on fraud suspicion – which I appreciate – but it really was me making the purchases and authenticated.                 Last minute travel plans – so I won’t be blogging for a while.   Purchased a one way to Salt Lake.   I will be helping my son watch his oldest three while mom gives birth to number four.   Mostlikely be spending Thanksgiving in Utah – possibly Christmas. Meanwhile Richard gets to hang with Bonnie.   That will be fun for him.                The tired is setting in already.   I hope ...

  The Power Blinked off and returned – but the internet didn ’ t.   The lights in the office indicated that the internet was up and running.   But no internet on any device.   No internet.   No cable. I was in the middle of facebooking someone a message.   I need the internet to play games with my daughter – better be back up within a couple of hours I would hope.   But it ’ s been more than an hour that we ’ ve been without.   The weather ’ s been nice today.                             What is up with the Internet not working?!? And Alexa Stacey giving us attitude. Alexa Emily worked most of the day.                             That was yesterday. N...

             Actually, I don ’ t.  5 th Sunday used to mean a combined meeting among the Relief Society and Elders Quorum.  Did it change?  According to the LDS website (now referred to as the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints – we have been encouraged NOT to abbreviate)the fifth Sundays are under the direction of the bishop.  We have had some combined meetings, but mostly we ’ ve just had Sunday School.  Makes sense today as we have not had a Sunday School all month.            I ’ ve been fighting a cold since last week and had opted not to go to either of the meetings last week though there was an after meeting that my RS president wanted me to attend.  I did.  I wore a mask.  Last night I went to the Halloween party but left early.  Today I went to Sacrament meeting than had Richard bring me home.  I think he should have stayed home as well as he still has...

           Richard ’ s birthday is October 3.  Every year around his birthday or sometimes not until before Thanksgiving he will catch a cold that will seemingly linger more each year.  This year happened within a few weeks after his birthday.  He happened to be in San Diego at the time.  He picked up a cold!  I told him NOT to bring it home.  But he did.  First he shared it with our youngest son and brought it home to me.  Oh, gee.          Cold symptoms effect different people in different ways.   For me, it was like getting hit by a MACK truck – not that I ’ ve ever really been hit by a MACK truck mind you.   I just imagine that is partially  how it would feel.   Like every tissue and organ within your body has felt the weight of heaviness smacking into it until it is too weak to function on its own.          ...

  Played Phrasel with Jaime this morning and afternoon.   Still foggy outside.   Seems to be interfering with many of the sites on the internet.     Played games with Jaime but had problems opening other games or even continue with scrabble cheat.   It ’ s like the towers aren ’ t getting signals due to the fog.     Only YouTube hasn ’ t been given me problems.   Not the way the other sites have.  Even this site was  giving me a problem at first.

                 I am so grateful for the Come Follow Me program and have expressed my gratitude towards those that share their talents through Podcast and YouTube and for the Come Follow Me site on facebook.   I am really good at following the program until about mid-May.   Summer comes and I am not near as diligent and tend to miss out.   At least   this year.   It appears I had only missed one week of the Doctrine and Covenants.   And that was in November – the week of Thanksgiving when all of the family was sick accept for Jaime.   I do have another confession – though I’ve returned to the program and some sources I have not been so diligent about the Come Follow Me page on facebook.   It used to come up in my feed when I was diligent about my research.   I need to revisit.   I need to get back to my routine. I am better with the fall.   If it would only st...

 When you call a company - any company - make sure you are on their site and not just one that claims to be. Recently just saw another ad for JUSTANSWER promoting pet advice.  DON'T DO IT.  Just Answer is a fishing site.  BEWARE! You don't even have to click continue.
